As previously reported, the “I Want Candy” singer and the Backstreet Boy member’s relationship was strained after Aaron was arrested for a DUI in July, and Nick reached out to him on Twitter, but according to Aaron, did not contact him privately.

“How about all of the other options he had [to reach out]? How about calling me in jail?” the statement continued. “I don’t need Nick’s help. I don’t need that. I don’t need help. What I need is for people to understand that I’m human and I make mistakes just like every other human in this world.”

Despite the brothers seemingly ending their feud, it has been a rough few months for the Carter family.

While Aaron checked back into rehab in October after leaving to attend to some personal matters, Nick was accused of sexual assault by singer Melissa Schuman in November. The “Larger Than Live” crooner denied the allegations.

“I am shocked and saddened by Ms. Schuman’s accusations. Melissa never expressed to me while we were together or at any time since that anything we did was not consensual,” Nick told Us in a statement on Wednesday, November 22. “We went on to record a song and perform together, and I was always respectful and supportive of Melissa both personally and professionally. This is the first that I am hearing about these accusations, nearly two decades later. It is contrary to my nature and everything I hold dear to intentionally cause someone discomfort or harm.”
